John Blake and Gayle White - Staff
As the war against Iraq gets under way, the conflict within America&#8217;s religious communities is escalating as well.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope John Paul, concerned that the world is being held hostage by the &#8220;logic of war,&#8221; called for a day of peace on March 5.
&#8220;The future of humanity should never be tied down by terrorism and the logic of war,&#8221; he said during his regular Sunday address.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Christian church leaders and lay people are taking an usually prominent role in the U.S. anti-war movement, arguing that an attack against Iraq would not fit the theological definition of a &#8220;just war.&#8221;
Leading Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian and Lutheran clergy have for months been issuing statements [...]]]></description>
